ipvs: fix ipv4 null-ptr-deref in route error path

2026-01-11T14:18:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit ad891bb3d079a46a821bf2b8867854645191bab0 ] The IPv4 code path in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() calls dst_link_failure() without ensuring skb->dev is set, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in fib_compute_spec_dst() when ipv4_link_failure() attempts to send ICMP destination unreachable messages. The issue emerged after commit ed0de45a1008 ("ipv4: recompile ip options in ipv4_link_failure") started calling __ip_options_compile() from ipv4_link_failure(). This code path eventually calls fib_compute_spec_dst() which dereferences skb->dev. An attempt was made to fix the NULL skb->dev dereference in commit 0113d9c9d1cc ("ipv4: fix null-deref in ipv4_link_failure"), but it only addressed the immediate dev_net(skb->dev) dereference by using a fallback device. The fix was incomplete because fib_compute_spec_dst() later in the call chain still accesses skb->dev directly, which remains NULL when IPVS calls dst_link_failure(). The crash occurs when: 1. IPVS processes a packet in NAT mode with a misconfigured destination 2. Route lookup fails in __ip_vs_get_out_rt() before establishing a route 3. The error path calls dst_link_failure(skb) with skb->dev == NULL 4. ipv4_link_failure() → ipv4_send_dest_unreach() → __ip_options_compile() → fib_compute_spec_dst() 5. fib_compute_spec_dst() dereferences NULL skb->dev Apply the same fix used for IPv6 in commit 326bf17ea5d4 ("ipvs: fix ipv6 route unreach panic"): set skb->dev from skb_dst(skb)->dev before calling dst_link_failure().

ipvs: Defer ip_vs_ftp unregister during netns cleanup

2025-10-15T09:56:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 134121bfd99a06d44ef5ba15a9beb075297c0821 ] On the netns cleanup path, __ip_vs_ftp_exit() may unregister ip_vs_ftp before connections with valid cp->app pointers are flushed, leading to a use-after-free. Fix this by introducing a global `exiting_module` flag, set to true in ip_vs_ftp_exit() before unregistering the pernet subsystem. In __ip_vs_ftp_exit(), skip ip_vs_ftp unregister if called during netns cleanup (when exiting_module is false) and defer it to __ip_vs_cleanup_batch(), which unregisters all apps after all connections are flushed. If called during module exit, unregister ip_vs_ftp immediately. Fixes: 61b1ab4583e2 ("IPVS: netns, add basic init per netns.")

ipv4: Drop tos parameter from flowi4_update_output()

2025-05-18T06:21:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3f06760c00f56c5fe6c7f3361c2cf64becee1174 ] Callers of flowi4_update_output() never try to update ->flowi4_tos: * ip_route_connect() updates ->flowi4_tos with its own current value. * ip_route_newports() has two users: tcp_v4_connect() and dccp_v4_connect. Both initialise fl4 with ip_route_connect(), which in turn sets ->flowi4_tos with RT_TOS(inet_sk(sk)->tos) and ->flowi4_scope based on SOCK_LOCALROUTE. Then ip_route_newports() updates ->flowi4_tos with RT_CONN_FLAGS(sk), which is the same as RT_TOS(inet_sk(sk)->tos), unless SOCK_LOCALROUTE is set on the socket. In that case, the lowest order bit is set to 1, to eventually inform ip_route_output_key_hash() to restrict the scope to RT_SCOPE_LINK. This is equivalent to properly setting ->flowi4_scope as ip_route_connect() did. * ip_vs_xmit.c initialises ->flowi4_tos with memset(0), then calls flowi4_update_output() with tos=0. * sctp_v4_get_dst() uses the same RT_CONN_FLAGS_TOS() when initialising ->flowi4_tos and when calling flowi4_update_output(). In the end, ->flowi4_tos never changes. So let's just drop the tos parameter. This will simplify the conversion of ->flowi4_tos from __u8 to dscp_t.

ipvs: prevent integer overflow in do_ip_vs_get_ctl()

2025-03-28T20:58:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 80b78c39eb86e6b55f56363b709eb817527da5aa ] The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by the user. The struct_size() function ensures that the size calculation does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to an int so the calculation can overflow. Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user. This check is just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API correctly. An integer overflow here is not a big deal. This has no security impact. Save the result from struct_size() type size_t to fix this integer overflow bug.

ipvs: fix UB due to uninitialized stack access in ip_vs_protocol_init()

2024-12-14T18:54:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 146b6f1112eb30a19776d6c323c994e9d67790db ] Under certain kernel configurations when building with Clang/LLVM, the compiler does not generate a return or jump as the terminator instruction for ip_vs_protocol_init(), triggering the following objtool warning during build time: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ip_vs_protocol_init() falls through to next function __initstub__kmod_ip_vs_rr__935_123_ip_vs_rr_init6() At runtime, this either causes an oops when trying to load the ipvs module or a boot-time panic if ipvs is built-in. This same issue has been reported by the Intel kernel test robot previously. Digging deeper into both LLVM and the kernel code reveals this to be a undefined behavior problem. ip_vs_protocol_init() uses a on-stack buffer of 64 chars to store the registered protocol names and leaves it uninitialized after definition. The function calls strnlen() when concatenating protocol names into the buffer. With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE strnlen() performs an extra step to check whether the last byte of the input char buffer is a null character (commit 3009f891bb9f ("fortify: Allow strlen() and strnlen() to pass compile-time known lengths")). This, together with possibly other configurations, cause the following IR to be generated: define hidden i32 @ip_vs_protocol_init() local_unnamed_addr #5 section ".init.text" align 16 !kcfi_type !29 { %1 = alloca [64 x i8], align 16 ... 14: ; preds = %11 %15 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63 %16 = load i8, ptr %15, align 1 %17 = tail call i1 @llvm.is.constant.i8(i8 %16) %18 = icmp eq i8 %16, 0 %19 = select i1 %17, i1 %18, i1 false br i1 %19, label %20, label %23 20: ; preds = %14 %21 = call i64 @strlen(ptr noundef nonnull dereferenceable(1) %1) #23 ... 23: ; preds = %14, %11, %20 %24 = call i64 @strnlen(ptr noundef nonnull dereferenceable(1) %1, i64 noundef 64) #24 ... } The above code calculates the address of the last char in the buffer (value %15) and then loads from it (value %16). Because the buffer is never initialized, the LLVM GVN pass marks value %16 as undefined: %13 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63 br i1 undef, label %14, label %17 This gives later passes (SCCP, in particular) more DCE opportunities by propagating the undef value further, and eventually removes everything after the load on the uninitialized stack location: define hidden i32 @ip_vs_protocol_init() local_unnamed_addr #0 section ".init.text" align 16 !kcfi_type !11 { %1 = alloca [64 x i8], align 16 ... 12: ; preds = %11 %13 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63 unreachable } In this way, the generated native code will just fall through to the next function, as LLVM does not generate any code for the unreachable IR instruction and leaves the function without a terminator. Zero the on-stack buffer to avoid this possible UB.
